Contents

Ms. 17.1

12 ff. of notes on ancient religions, related to Yahuda Var. 1 Ms. 41. Folio 5v has a reference to 'Ioannis Antiocheni Cognomenti Malala' [leg. 'Cognomento Malalæ'] (1691), giving a terminus a quo for this portion of the manuscript.

Ms. 17.2

31 ff. of notes related to, and in some cases drafts of, Theologiæ Gentilis. f. 20r begins identically to Yahuda Var. 1 Ms. 16.2 f. 1r, but this bundle appears to be prior in composition, giving a date in the 1680s. Very rough and heavily corrected up to f. 21; the remainder seems comparatively finished. f. 24 is almost entirely given over to notes on Humphrey Prideaux's Marmora Oxoniensa (1676). f. 28r has the heading 'Historica [sic] Deorum'. Two of the 31 numbered folios are blank; a further three unnumbered blank folios are interleaved between ff. 6 and 7, 27 and 28, and 28 and 29.

Ms. 17.3

15 ff. of notes, the sequence of which resembles the order of chapter headings in Yahuda Var. 1 Ms. 16.2, and that of the treatment (in English) of similar subjects in Yahuda Var. 1 Ms. 41.
